April 1st pranks

[WYRD]

Looking for some good old fashioned pranks to pull. Anybody had experience with some fun ones for coworkers or family?

Did this to the boss once-

Cut a perfect 6" diameter hole in the ceiling grid tile in his office. Right in front of his desk.

Picked up a piece of 6" PVC pipe, 10 feet long and fed it up through the hole.

Ceiling to floor.

Put a note on it that said a new roof drain needed to be installed and maintenance will be by in a couple weeks to finish the job.

I always grab a couple of pink boxes from the donut shop and throw some rocks in there. Always fun to hear people walk into the break room and say “oh donuts….. damn”

Years ago my buddy had a shop he built surfboards at . . . his glasser pulled an april 1st prank one year . . . called him at home at 'O-Dark-Thirty' and said, "Hey, I just got down here and the fire department is here, there's flames ripping through the roof" . . . before he hung up he said, "Oh yeah, the Captain in charge wants me to remind you that it's April Fools" . . .

I make sure I don’t eat any of the Oreos my kids bring me. Toothpaste as the replacement.

They generally tell me they made some fresh brownies and then when I lift the foil it is brown Construction paper cut into the letter E.

We used to put bologna in the headset of someone's work desktop phone and wait a few days for the smell to set in and then call them.

Do they guys come to the yard first before heading out? if so, chain the doors up like you closed up shop..... you might need to pay them for an hour not working, but could be funny.

I posted this before.

We had one of those terrible neighbors. You know the kind where they called the cops on us 32 times in just two years. They treated us like shit cause their son was Henderson PD so they always had a chip on their shoulder with us. That was until the day I mother-fucked along with every other 4 letter superlative I could think of at the Sergeant and 4 other cops off my property. Then opened up two IA investigations one with Metro and other with Henderson. Wont go into more other than she ended up being asked to quit her job with Metro or risk being fired!

But the Aprils 1st joke we got ion them was classic.
When Shirley (Neighbors were Bruce and Shirley, they have 2 kids) left to go pick up her kids from school--we went to work. My BIL started to dig a hole in our front yard. I ran over to our other neighbor who was a RE Agent at the time. Anther neighbor 2 doors down took off in his car looking for the perfect sign. So here it is.

We put a For Sale sign with a Foreclosure sign in our front yard. It wasnt there when she left--but it was there by the time she arrived home 20 minutes later. The Foreclosure sign was swaying in the breeze too. She never saw us outside before she left and we were all inside by the time she and the kids got home.
She was dancing and calling all her POS friends laughing how we were in FC and going to be moving right in her driveway. They even started singing Foreclosure, Foreclosure--your house is in Foreclosure. Like nah nah nah nah nah. . .
We were all inside laughing without them seeing us.

There are only 6 total homes in our section of the tract. 2 of them helped us so they knew what was going on--the other two we didnt have a chance to let them know so they were all pretty shocked to see the sign when they got home from work. They both texted us their sympathy--but we didnt reply back. Why not extend the joke a little further.

That night--we made two 3x5 poster boards. They were bright neon yellow/green and only contained the words April Fools. We taped them to the sign at around 1-2am when everyone was sleeping.

We were getting our kids ready for school when we heard laughing outside--it was our friendly neighbor 3 houses down going to work and seeing our April Fools signs. They were one of the ones we didnt get to tell the day earlier.

Shirley and her family did not see the humor in it all. They knew they were the brunt of the joke too.

After we took down the For Sale sign--I didnt want to throw the Foreclosure sign away--so I hung it on the side of our home that Shirleys door opened towards. They got to see that sign all the way up to the time their home went into Foreclosure (remember the IA investigations?!?) and moved out. We sang them the same song when they were packing up too.

Still have the sign too. Just hangs in my garage now.

One time my coworker at an accounting firm when we were 20 years old never showed up to work on April 1st. My boss was pissed off but I told him that it was an April fools joke. It was really good but bad at the same time because were in tax season lol. Well, he didn't show up on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th,....he never actually showed up again.

Well my boss calls his house and his mom picks up and he asks her, "where is Travis?" and she said he's at spring break in Miami.

I was so pissed off because I got him the job and I had to cover all his work too but it was pretty funny at the end of it all!!

No I'll save that for when I really hit the eject button.

Not sure if this should go in the 4/1 thread or the dumbass thread, but anybody remember when Kevin & Bean KROQ morning show news reported the completion of the 210 freeway extension all the way past the 15...? Pretty sure they were even "reporting live" from the grand opening on 4/1...

Well, I just happened to be heading out to Vegas that weekend from the SFV and would normally take the 14/Pearblossom to the 15, but heard that this shortcut to the 15 is now open... I knew the extension was under construction, so it didn't seem crazy that it was finally open, even thought my wife (GF at the time & from Azusa...!) insisted it wasn't. But dammit, I heard on the news that it was open (pre-smartphone days...)! Set us back a couple hours in Fri traffic, but fortunately Vegas is 24/7...

For all you superintendents…
Have your buddy barge in the trailer during a Foremans meeting and tell you he is with OSHA and proceed to jump his ass for not knocking and kick him out and tell him to make an appt. next time and tell him to get off your job. It will blow everyone’s mind

One of the best ones I heard live on the radio was the done by KGB 101.5 dave,Shelly and chain saw I’m pretty sure it was that show about 20 years ago they said the space shuttle had an emergency and was going to land at Montgomery field in San Diego a small municipal airport
They were on site and live on air as they called the landing starting about 20 minutes out by the time they claimed the shuttle was just touching down traffic was backed up and people were everywhere around the airport to watch
I think they got in trouble for that hoax

I’ve pulled off a “winning lottery ticket”, at work.

I came in with a stack of 10 scratcher lottery tickets. Two of them were fake $10k winners. I told the guys at work I won them in a best ball golf tournament over the weekend.

I started to scratch them off in front of them, making a big deal when I got 2 of three….etc…

Then on #6 I pulled off a $10k winner…..every one was freaking. I told them I still had a few more left. I scratched off a couple more losers, and then scratched off another $10k winner. Talk about hook line and sinker.

I gave my boss one of the tickets, and asked him how I cash it, he started reading the back of the ticket, and it tells you the ticket is fake.

That asshole neighbor….when you hear their shower turn on (for those of us that don’t have acrage….and the neighbors water heater is right on the other side of the fence so you can hear it) …. Walk out and turn off the water main.

A good friend of mine had a co-worker that was worried about the city catching him adding on a garage to the back of his house without a permit. Big mistake, the friend had me call him and say I was a building inspector and he needed to come in and file for a permit and pay a $2500 fine. I felt bad, but the friends office said it was great watching him go off all day til they told him April Fools.

I recieved a text message today from Donald Trump saying he was suspending his campaign. I opened to rec'v the APRIL FOOLS and saying he'll never give up on the American people....
When I 1st saw the text I thought it might be a ruse to get the left to chill a bit or something ( something to F w/ the left) and then last minute he'd re-instate. Anyway, he got me a good bit....
Of course they were asking for $$$ donationtions as always......they're constantly hounding for $$$..

I didn't ask. Washer was going with a couple towels when I got up. When I picked the boys up from school they didn't mention it. Waiting until this evening to get the whole story.

our upstairs toilet is out of commission so we only have the downstairs. The tank started leaking between the base a week ago. Realized I need to run up to Oregon to get the "good" toilet that actually flushes. Damn California water restrictions I guess?

Someone at my wife’s office was talking about the post on FB. LOL it was legal fun. I also like Culver’s. It would be awesome to have on across the street from the shopper dock.
